Which of the following describes the maximum allowance of accepted risk?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Risk threshold is the maximum amount of risk that an organization is willing to accept for a given activity or decision. It is also known as risk appetite or risk tolerance. Risk threshold helps an organization to prioritize and allocate resources for risk management. Risk indicator, risk level, and risk score are different ways of measuring or expressing the likelihood and impact of a risk, but they do not describe the maximum allowance of accepted risk.Reference:CompTIA Security+ Study Guide: Exam SY0-701, 9th Edition, page 34;Accepting Risk: Definition, How It Works, and Alternatives

Totally. And I'm guessing they're trying to trip us up with all those other options, like 'risk score' and 'risk level'. But those are just different ways of measuring or categorizing risk, not the maximum allowance itself.

Yeah, I agree. The risk threshold is the key concept here. It's the point at which the potential for loss or harm becomes unacceptable and requires action to be taken.

Well, based on my understanding, the 'risk threshold' is the maximum level of risk that an organization is willing to accept. So that's the answer that makes the most sense to me.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm not too sure about the differences between all these risk-related terms. Anyone have any thoughts?
